Pres. Buhari Freezes Bank Accounts Belonging To Kuku,Tompolo And Others

The Muhammadu Buhari led administration has frozen bank accounts
belonging to Keketobou Foundation, owned by former Special Adviser to
Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta and Coordinator of the Amnesty
Programme, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, and Mieka Divers Limited as well as
Global West Vessels Limited reportedly owned by ex-Niger Delta
warlord, Mr. Government Ekpompolo, aka Tompolo.



The anti-corruption campaign of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration appears to have taken a bigger bite as the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission has secretly frozen the bank accounts of
former President Goodluck Jonathan's associates, PUNCH reports.

A PUNCH correspondent learnt that the move by the anti-graft agency
was aimed at scuttling the tranfer of the alleged looted funds from
the accounts for other reasons.

A member of a key transition committee of the All Progressives
Congress, who spoke to one of our correspondents on condition of
anonymity, on Friday, said the need had become necessary in view of
the magnitude of the alleged theft of public resources by the affected
persons.

The APC chieftain spoke on the heels of the condemnation of President
Buhari's ongoing probe of the last administration of the Peoples
Democratic Party and recovery of funds looted by public officials.
